Cannondale SystemSix Team Si

Oh hai, I was looking for Spatr's new bike thread but I seem to have accidentally loaded the stem anti-porn thread :P

Putting aside that you don't want Archetypes because they're too common (and that @hugo7's reasons not to buy them are actually mostly reasons to buy them!) I own Archetypes and Ardennes and you should get Ardennes for this. The Scandium ones really because they're lighter :)

I'm amazed nobody has mentioned the TRP R960's. Y'know, the brakes that the Planet X ultralight brakes are a cheap copy of? They are both the lightest and most powerful brakes I've ever owned and I regret selling them to @dbr now since I decided to stop trying to shoehorn guards onto my road bike.

They are stupidly expensive but they are still almost half the price of EE brakes.

Just sold my 960 pretty cheap too. Piss.

Great brakes.

Stem of choice IMO is the Kalloy Uno 9. ~110g, easily acetoned plain and £15 on eBay. Chuck some Ti bolts on if you fancy, but otherwise hard to better at the price.

Incidentally I acetoned and installed my Uno yesterday .. good stem and a good system to tighten the bolts too:

Maybe..

so much hardware.

What size handlebar clamp? OS?

And what was the issue with Tune stems?

I like those Ritchey stems, but the O/S 260 deg clamp
only works with certain bars. So check before you buy. Just about squeezed my alu ergonovas in to my WCS.

Those Ritchey stems are hideous in the flesh. I was a bit sick in my mouth when I saw Jaygee's one on his lovely Roberts. Like having a baby's arm on holding your bars to the bike.

has this really been 7 pages of nothing but stem suggestions?
this thread is weak.

Less trash talk, more action.

I know i know i'm twiddling thumbs while I wait for some stuff to sell. Fingers crossed I'll be paying for my cranks this week.

May I remind you of The Great Bottle Cage Debate in your Talbot thread?

That was just A+ trolling on my part.

Looks like a fist that's about to punch someone.

Some of your finest work..

That stem:

That's ridiculous...

Doesn't spotter need 130 anyway?

So what bottle cages are going on this?

hhhmmm.
